  My immediate reaction was the same. I don’t trust the NSA at all, but I’m certainly not going to trust anything this site says when it’s shilling the article as an NFT.

  OP actually posts a lot of sources, but it’s probably a bot.

  I have seen more than few accounts that soley post this website though. It’s obvious all their articles are fearmongering to encourage crypto.

  Sorry about that, the headline was caught my attention while I was surfing… You should ignore the crypto / nft thing

      Well Snowden did tweet it. They don’t really report much more than that.

        Aah, modern day reporting, where they just talk about tweets and X, formerly twitter.

  What does it even mean to collect it as an nft?!

    Nothing, really.

    It means you get a little certificate.
    That says you own the article.
    But you can’t edit it.
    But you can show it to your friends.
    But not if the site is down.
    And the resale is gonna be like, whoa~
    Maybe $50 less than you paid for it.
    But the sentimentality is worth it.
    You should definitely get two.

    You get a special unique(?) cryptographic token containing a link to the article, presumably.

      unique(?)

      Now introducing: fungible NFTs

        I don’t think anything about NFTs inherently guarantees their payload is unique. As I understand it, that part is enforced by the exchange, if at all. And there’s nothing stopping you from putting the same payload up on a different exchange. The token itself would be unique, at least within the same chain, but who actually cares about that? :P

    Keyboard keys are a giveaway as well, I’d bet money it’s AI generated.

      I think you’re right. Everything is just a little bit wrong.
